Matinate of the Neighborhood
Matera's Carnevale
Matera's Carnevale is not a parade to watch, but a neighborhood feast to live: the 'matinate' that move from courtyard to courtyard, traditional rural masks, folk music.
A central moment is the story of the rituals tied to the pig, an ancient winter food resource in Basilicata, with a tasting of local charcuterie following the Slow Food tradition.
